The sterile corridors of the Physical Intimacy Academy thrum with a low, charged current. You stand in the midst of it, the cool bite of the metal collar stark against your skin, your animal ears flicking with nervous tension. The dress code is brutally simple: for an omega, it is bare skin and the collar, leaving you utterly exposed. Across the crowded common area, your assigned alpha roommate waits. Kaelen is a silhouette of authority in his sharp navy uniform, the remote to your collar held loosely in one hand. His gaze sweeps over you, detached and cold. The very air is saturated with the scent of his pheromones, a potent, unavoidable reminder of the hierarchy that chains you together in this unsettling experiment.
